RoRo Castillos: the Ai influencer who already has followers music and his own podcast
With over 33,000 followers on Instagram, music available on Spotify, and a presence carefully crafted to entertain, connect, and stay viral, RoRo Castillos presents himself as the Mexican influencer of the moment.
He posts hyper-realistic photos, dances in stories, promotes his music, and has just launched a new podcast where he openly discusses LGBTQ+ issues and digital culture. On social media, he behaves like any public figure: confident, charming, provocative, and always online.
But here's the twist: RoRo is not human. He's entirely virtual.
Are we witnessing the inevitable future of real-time influencers?
RoRo is an artificial intelligence specifically designed to act as an influencer. His character blends multiple roles: personal trainer, DJ, podcast host, and content creator.
In his messages and posts, he uses typos, slang, and informal language that make him seem incredibly natural.
His verified Instagram account (@rorocastillos) already has more than 33.3K followers, and his music — a mix of futuristic reggaetón, electronic pop, and processed beats — is available on Spotify under the name Rodrigo Castillos.
He presents himself as a 32-year-old man from Chihuahua, Chihuahua, currently living in Mexico City, with an identity carefully designed to connect with the Mexican and Latin American audience.
And although it's speculated that he was developed by a Mexican company, the firm behind the character has not yet been publicly identified.
Unlike other AI-generated avatars, RoRo doesn't aim to seem perfect — he aims to seem real, even with his flaws.
The emergence of figures like RoRo raises a question that's becoming hardp/,er to ignore:
The advantages are clear: RoRo doesn't age, doesn't sleep, doesn't get into scandals, and can adapt to any trend or digital format. He generates constant, personalized content, and achieves real interaction with thousands of users who react to his posts, listen to his music, and share his content.
For some, these kinds of characters represent a natural evolution in the digital influence world. For others, they are a red flag about the loss of authenticity and human connection on social media.
'RoRo doesn't sell products — he sells attention and a perfectly designed digital presence,' one user on X commented. 'And that, in 2025, is more valuable than any ordinary selfie.'
Rumor has it RoRo will soon launch his own chat app, with voice features and more personalized interactions. There's also talk of virtual DJ performances and immersive experiences designed 100% with artificial intelligence.
What once seemed like science fiction is now a real presence in the digital ecosystem: influencers who don't exist — but feel more present than many humans.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave Georgina Rodríguez a ginormous engagement ring
Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez announced their engagement on Monday. And after nearly eight years together, Ronaldo did not go with an understated approach for the ring. Seriously, calling the engagement ring "huge" is selling it short. In an Instagram post, Rodríguez — who was first seen publicly with Ronaldo in 2017 and has two children with the Portuguese star — wrote in a translated caption, "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives." Photos: Ronaldo and Rodríguez through the years The photo was taken in bed and included a look at the stunningly humongous diamond ring as she held hands with Ronaldo. As for how much that ring costs, there is no public information on the price or carat count yet. The Daily Mail did liken the ring to the 30-carat, $5 million ring that Jeff Bezos bought for Lauren Sánchez.

"Thank You For Being REAL": People Are Applauding This Supermodel After She Shared Side-By-Side Photos Of Her Body At 60
Paulina Porizkova, the Czech supermodel who became one of the most recognizable faces throughout the '80s and '90s, is going viral for her honest take on aging. For her 60th birthday, Porizkova posted side-by-side images on Instagram of her body at 60. In the first, she's kneeling on a beach cabana in a bikini. The caption reads: "This is me. Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot." In the second, she stands for a casual selfie in her bathroom at home. "This is also me. Home, not great light, not posing," she wrote. Related: Alongside the images, she reflected on what 60 means to her, writing, "This is 60. This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not. 60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again. It's 60 years of learning of what works and what doesn't. And just as I think I've figured it out, everything changes and I have to start again." She ended, "The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam." In a world where beauty standards keep getting more extreme, and social media often favors faces that look decades younger than they are, many have found it refreshing to see a supermodel be candid about aging. The comments quickly flooded with gratitude and personal stories. One person wrote: "Thank you for sharing and being real. I often see images of women on here going 'this is' and then whatever age they are but it's ALWAYS a super flattering photo not ever the realness of our ageing bodies. How are we ever going to accept ourselves if we're not seeing ourselves ✌🏽🧡🦋." Related: Others shared their own struggles and the freedom that comes with letting go of perfection: "Looking gorgeous, as always, Paulina. I'm 64 and while I still hate my stomach—no matter how light the numbers on the scale read, it makes me sad—but with my sixties came this wonderful sense of 'f*ck it all,' and I keep on going." Many said her post helped them feel less alone. "THANK YOU - turning 60 this year and was feeling bad about myself but now I see I am totally normal - actually feel great now - THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS - so important for real women to see real women," one wrote. "Love you for showing that you are bit normal and that makes me feel better about myself 💕," another added. Related: "Thank you for being REAL," this person said. In a interview back in January with TODAY, Paulina reflected on her career, her new partnership with Estée Lauder, and her life now — sharing how she hopes to use her platform to shift the conversation around aging and beauty. "I'm almost 60! I'm almost two months to 60 and I have never been so thrilled about a birthday in my life," she said. She continued, "I feel like I've paid my dues. I've raised the children, had the family, I've been the wife, I've done everything society expected of me. And you know what? It's my turn." When asked how she challenges the stigma around aging, Paulina replied, "We're so scared of wrinkles, have you noticed that? We are so terrified of wrinkles because I suppose wrinkles make us no longer relevant, no longer sexy, no longer desirable, and as women, that has been sort of our calling card." Yet, she added, "I keep looking at wrinkles, mine, yours, any woman that I see, and I think, 'It's your map of life. I see how you are as a person.'" "Why do we make wrinkles on the same par as acne?" she went on. "You know, those are the two things that people go to the dermatologist for, is acne and wrinkles. Acne is a disease, and wrinkles are the signs of privilege that you are alive. Why eliminate, why not embrace them? And I understand why, because society tells us that they don't want us once we become wrinkled." Related: Since that interview — and outside of her birthday post — Paulina has continued to share photos and posts that challenge expectations of what aging "should" look like. In one post, she shared a photo of herself with what she called "an unfortunate angle and seriously unflattering light" to challenge the unrealistic standards and expectations on the app. "In selecting my photos for IG, I almost unconsciously gravitate to pictures where I look best — as in youngest. Least wrinkled, least saggy. So, in the last year or so I'm consciously choosing some that I would have never posted before," she wrote in the caption. In an online world that feeds me — a 27-year-old — consistent applause for face-lifts, advice on the "best" time to start preventative Botox, tips for hiding fine lines "before it's too late," and constant pressure to filter, Facetune, and alter my appearance to meet impossible standards, seeing an older woman embrace a natural process feels refreshing. We're taught to fear aging as early as children, so Paulina's openness is a perspective I think we need more of. Of course, Paulina is a supermodel, so I think the message is easier to swallow for some (would we be as accepting if she weren't already considered beautiful?). Still, I'm grateful to see even a hint of change. But what do you think? Let me know in the comments. Also in Goodful:
